Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development complies with the limitations imposed under paragraph A.1(g) on development permitted under Class A of the GPDO
  • The effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of the adjoining dwelling (142 Wilkes Avenue) with respect to outlook, daylight and sunlight

What decided it

The proposal would breach the Council's 45-degree code and result in a significant loss of sunlight and daylight and moderate reduction in outlook to the neighbouring dwelling's habitable rooms, thereby failing to comply with Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, paragraph A.1(g) of the GPDO.

Plan policies cited: GP2 Part VI, ENV32, CSP4, ENV2, ENV3
